I listened to this video while mowing and edging the lawn today. It was a bit longer than expected so I listened while weeding and going other chores as well.
The Book of Helaman
A review of Pastor Jeff reading the Book of Helaman in the Book of Mormon. I’m going to purposefully skip the highlights, where he gives an outline of the stories he read.

I had been out and around Manhattan all day. When I went back to meet my comp in Time Square an Elder told me a girl, a nanny from Connecticut was looking for me and she was just there. She was now up the street so I ran up the street. I went up the street I saw a little crowd of girls and Lisa, Matt Johnson’s girlfriend was there. She remembered I was in New York and looked for me. Of all the days we ended up in Manhattan on the same day. What a blessing. She was even at my farewell. Wow.
NF – My opinion about the rapper NF
I went to an NF concert a week ago with Robbie. I was blown away. It was so powerful. I was so impressed. I would actually be a bit embarrassed to completely explain the way it impressed me.
Don’t expect overflowing intellect.
I’m not an intellectual. Don’t expect examples of complex intellectualism here. I try to see it and say it as I see it.
Instant Backache
As I got into the truck I was thinking about listening to the next book or finishing the book I was listening to in the Apocrypha, which was Baruch. As I got into the truck, my back started to throb in sharp bursts of pain, down where my kidneys are. It was a throbbing pain that felt like somebody had punched me in the kidneys and my muscles were spasming.
How did I do this week? Aug 15, 2023
It’s actually the middle of a week, not the end of a week. Either way, it has been a few weeks since I have done an analysis of my path to Zion. Honestly, I don’t feel any closer. The last week or two has been tough. I don’t think there has been a part of my life that hasn’t been difficult.
Falling to My Death
As I have been reading my mission journals, I have come across many instances where I kept my past a secret. I’m not 100% sure what it was. The desire could have been from embarrassment or a feeling as though it was not appropriate. There was an extreme embarrassment around peers. Having to explain why I was so far behind my peers.
Never Give Up an Opportunity to Testify of Christ
I was listening to the April 2023 General Conference today and came across the talk “Never Give Up an Opportunity to Testify of Christ” by Bonnie H Cordon. It was a lovely talk about her father and his admonition to never give up an opportunity to testify of Christ.

Nothing more counts than doing your best. What does it matter if someone is better? Will you become worse because you are focusing on them (something you are not) and not focusing on yourself (something you are)?
I am starting to respect my companion a lot. He’s actually a very good guy. He has a lot of excellent qualities. I am very much loving his companionship.
